Hey, want to join my gay hivemind?
Man this came to me in a dream so bear with me it's a doozy...

But it was basically a world where literally everything in a characters life was determined by an unseen dice roll and they had to abide by the outcome regardless of the potential consequences. Like if you had to decide whether to swerve to miss a pedestrian in your car or hit them the dice decided and you had to follow the outcome.

People were fully aware that their actions and decisions weren't their own and it caused some people to be off their gourd mad, some people broke out of this system and lived in the forest as rebels...idk it was weird...but not a terrible idea if given some logic tlc...

maybe use them as a place to put recent developments with your character(s) + plot hooks you want to pursue (that's what i do anyway)

abandon the friends/lovers/etc. deal
Usually I do this! But I'm struggling more with shipper style apps that HAVE to have that format, so I'm mostly looking for ways to use that format...Creatively I guess?

Hey, want to join my gay hivemind?
I always struggle with shippers that are split into like...Platonic/Antagonistic/Romantic...Because I never super know how to write these sections in a compelling way? I guess I'm asking how other people approach it for ideas how to approach it myself?

I have a really good grasp of the character, so it's less not knowing how they act and more not knowing how to compartmentalize these concepts into those three sections respectively? I also never know what the actual proper way to word it is, am I writing how I think they handle these specific relationships? I'm struggle.

I'm not looking for a cut and dry answer because I know a lot of it comes down to preference and personal style, I guess I'm mostly looking for advice or ideas how to actually write these, questions I can ask myself in regards to the character in relation to the sections of the shipper.

Did I butcher this question? Yes, yes I did. I'm so sorry.

Well, as I said before, I’m totally interested to see this idea implemented as an RP! I’ve even had a vague character plot bunny hopping around my head since reading your original post, so that’s exciting.

I’m curious, in terms of the setting, do you think the main focus will be on the city where the film takes place, with other more far-flung areas available for adventuring and such? Just wondering, since I’m sure the effects of magic could extend pretty far, but it might be easier to encourage character interaction in a limited setting.
Awesome! I'm actually gonna post an ad here soon and I'll PM you links!

As for your question, starting out we're definitely centralized on New Mushroomton and the areas around it that we see in the film, there's definitely the potential to maybe add unique cities around the area but for starters we're keeping it fairly small for the sake of encouraging interaction rather than spreading characters too thin!

What Is it?

Boombastia will be a modern fantasy roleplay set in the same world that the Pixar film Onward set up, it will be a semi-plot driven site, but largely slice-of-life. The bulk of the roleplay will involve OCs, but canon characters from the film will be allowed to be played!

Semi-Plot Driven?

We're picking up shortly after the end of the film, magic is starting to slowly but surely enter the world again and with it will inevitably come changes. For many people change is scary, and with something as unpredictable as magic, no one is really sure how to govern it safely. A lot of the conflict is going to come from refusal to change, and how the plot actually runs will depend on who plays governmental positions.

I haven't seen the film though!

Hey that's totally fine! The only reference to the movie will be a plot summary and how it effects the current events in the world. For the most part the plot of the forum wont rely on knowing any deep details about the film, we'll have a summary of it though for people who haven't seen it.

Overview

- Jcink premium hosted
- 3 | 2 | 3 Rating
- Animated/Illustrated face claims with the option for aesthetic images and written descriptions instead
- LGBTQ+ Characters welcome and encouraged
- Canon and OC characters
- No strict activity checks or word counts


If you have any questions or ideas feel free to ask or add them here!

Man re-watching Onward and thinking that that is actually a REALLY fun world for an RP to be set in? So here's me asking if anyone would be interested in a modern fantasy RP set in the world that Onward takes place in?
I could SO picture the world of Onward as an awesome setting for an RP! I’d certainly be interested to see where you would take this concept!
I'm currently in the process of building this site so it's cool to see some interest in the concept!

Hey, want to join my gay hivemind?
So I've been googling for an answer to this question for hours and can't find anything reliable, I KNOW it can be done but I'm not sure the process that goes into making it happen?

I'd like to add some new fonts to my site but I'm not sure how to...Do that? I knew how on Proboards but Jcink is a different beast and it's something I've never tried to do before!

Thank you for the help or even just for peeping at this!

Man re-watching Onward and thinking that that is actually a REALLY fun world for an RP to be set in? So here's me asking if anyone would be interested in a modern fantasy RP set in the world that Onward takes place in? Some deets:

- Would be Jcink
- Would probably be 3-2-3? IDK I have premium I can transfer to it.
- Fairly relaxed as far as activity goes, no word count
- Might use the ending of the film where magic is starting to come back into use as the conflict, since change is scary
- Canon and OC, but the emphasis will be on OCs(there's not a lot of canon characters anyway)
- Governmental positions would be open for people to play, can introduce some plots that way
- Face claims would be animated OR aesthetics with a written description.
- Species would mainly be: Elves, Centaurs, Merfolk, Pixies, Satyrs, Cyclops, basically any species you see in the film, those are just the main ones! No humans would be present, elves essentially work as the human stand in!
- Even though the site would be set in the world, it wouldn't necessarily be heavily focused on the story because it takes place _after_ the movie, so you don't need to have seen it to get involved, as it wont draw too heavily from the plot of the movie!(but everyone should watch it bc it is GOOD)

Seriously I'm rarin' to go for this concept, I adore the world and the setting so much.

Hey, want to join my gay hivemind?
I'm basically looking for a place to play some canon characters, I'll sort them in order from most desired to least, I'll also give some idea of what I'm into as far as the site itself goes!

The Characters:
- Ian Lightfoot(Onward)


What I'm looking for:
I'm looking for a panfandom where I can bring any or all of these characters to play with, I'd love to find a fairly relaxed place that's got a more toned down lore and application process? A site with other Disney/Dreamworks/Western animation characters present would be cool, I always hate feeling like the only loser playing cartoon characters in a sea of anime LOL.
- Panfandom
- A Western animation character presence
- Relaxed but active community
- Relaxed word count and application process
- Illustrated/Animated or Aesthetic face claims

What I'd like to avoid:
- RL face claims
- A cold or closed off community
- word counts and strict activity requirements
- Non-panfandoms

Other info:
MY only hard no is mandatory RL face claims, I would REALLY love to play these characters as they are in canon, but I'm willing to make gentle exceptions as long as the hard no isn't present! I'm really just looking for a place with other Disney/Dreamworks characters present, I get so tired of feeling out of place...

I would be willing to look at personified/spirits based sites, as long as there's the option to use aesthetic images and a written description in place of a RL face claim!

I promise I'm not nearly as picky as I might sound! I'm generally really easy going, I've just got more specifics in mind this time around! ^^;

Show of hands:

Who would be interested in an animanga/animated/illustrated panfandom taking place in a magical school type setting? It'd be at least loosely based off of Hogwarts but everything would be original content.
- Four "houses" ala Hogwarts, likely based off of the core aspect of the character's personality, but I'm still kind of deciding what I want the houses to be based on.
- It's gonna take place in a large and sleepy little college town backed by the school, it's gonna be modern based.
- Canon characters will be able to come from just about any sort of animated or illustrated medium, you'll have to adapt characters from non-modern settings into a modern one, you're also allowed to adapt them however you like since their canon is essentially whatever their life is on the site rather than their original canon.
---- IE: Rapunzel's backstory would have no connection to her actual canon, it'd be whatever story you give her on site. You CAN base their site canon on their actual canon, it's up to you!

I'm probably gonna do this regardless because I been wanting this idea, but I wanna see if anyone else is interested!
